Active Raid
A new Anime season is upon us, and I think some of might enjoy this one: Active Raid! I would post a video of the opening itself, but even the official one from Funimation is altered and sped up from the normal version. So this PV from a couple weeks ago is the best version of the Opening so far. Anyway! It's basically a special Police Division in powered suits dealing with crime being committed by criminals using powered armor/suits called "Willwear". The first episode was pretty good, and the design of the suits are pretty cool too. Judging from the opening and next episode scenes, the one girl also wears a suit, not just the two guys. Plus, I really like the opening. I can't wait for the single to be released ( 27th of jan!)

A whole lot of new pictures have gone up with the big update.

Macross Delta
So! A preview episode was released! And it's!... kind of weird. So yeah. I guess we will now have to wait for "Spring 2016" for more. So March/April.

Berserk New Series
Correct. Seems like they were able to convince the studio to go series instead of movies... Which is fair, as the 3 Golden Age movies did fairly well. Enough to warrant more for sure, but obviously enough to commit more resources to.

Star Wars : The Force Awakens
I fixed your post for you. And I mean seriously, as JJ did say that they are leaving that part out. And I really doubt it has anything to do with Genetic memory. This isn't Assassin's Creed. Rey was simply strong with the Force, as was able to use it subconsciously when piloting, as we've seen others do, and based on stories she had heard. That's why it took her a few tries to get Daniel Craig to listen to her.

Berserk New Series
Have you seen the 3 movies? If not, you should look them up ( they are online... in places). Not only are they good, but essential to the backstory. That or read the manga... Which is also... Online... in places...

Berserk New Series
It looks like they are going with the "CGI assisted" route with the animation, like they did with the movies... Which is ok I suppose. I dind't liek it all that much in the movies, but since they are probably stretching their budget a bit more on making a series, I am guessing the normal animation quality will suffer a bit. And while the movies did skip some stuff, and as much as I want to see the Berserk armor in action... Once the black swordsman arc starts, there isn't really anything I'd want to really skip... Although maybe the whole "bug" arc, while Guts is basically alone, only with Puck... If they were wanting to start pushing the main storyline with his new companions, it'd be where it would need to start. But I am hoping for as much as they can throw at us.

Star Wars : The Force Awakens
I am thinking that you maybe did not pay much attention to that final fight. She didn't soundly beat him. When they were trading blows, a lot of it was her on the defense. She only really got the best of him, after he had let his guard down a bit in trying to recruit her, and she was able to resist, while he was partially distracted.... After she had relaxed and let go of the fear she was feeling in that situation. Besides, Kylo Ren did not seem all that apt at using a light saber either, as even Finn, who is not Force sensitive at all, was still able to clip Kylo Ren with a light saber, without even being trained in saber combat ( though we'd assume he'd have some melee training from the First Order.) he was not "slapped around". Now, the whole thing about Rey being good with machines, and Force sensitive goes back to Anakin Skywalker ( Which a lot of speculation is that she is a Skywalker herself). Who, at a very young age, built a droid and a pod racer, in which he also raced. He is her parallel in this story. Except that she is so force sensitive (maybe due to being older than when we found Anakin), that she was able to convince a Storm Trooper ( Daniel Craig) to release her and drop his weapon, without ANY training... Only stuff she had heard about in legends. So her, using the force to pull the saber, her, in the end, beating Kylo Ren who was conflicted and she was not... Was fitting, and would have happened the same way if both characters were female, both male, or sexes reversed.

Warriorguyver,com Artwork Updates *Feb 7, 2016
A small picture update to go with the big Great War update!

Warriorguyver is BACK!!!!
What?!? I hadn't heard about this at all! Poor humor aside, we're all a little older, a little wiser, and turns out, we still like what we did and want to continue... And yeah, it took as a while to make it back... At this point, we don't even care if we get only like 5 people who read the fics, or like the character pictures. We're back because we realized how much we enjoy doing this, and are doing it for our own fun. If anyone else enjoys it, well, that is all bonus and we love you for it

Final Fantasy VII Remake Trailer.
I'll have to wait and see how they handle the combat and "Multiple Episodes" thing... But I have to say, as much as I love the turn based battle system, iof this is anything like Kingdom hearts, I will enjoy the crap out of it. Now, I am doubting that, ONLY because they will most likely use a combination of the old system, and the newer system from FFXV... At least that is what it kind of looks like to me. And I never got around to playing the FFXV demo, so I am not sure how it exactly plays... But it is very action oriented. And square tends to do battle systems well, so I have little doubts about that. It's the leveling system that sometimes is garbage. As for the episodic part... The one BIG upside I can see, is that if we already have a gameplay trailer... We might see part 1 in 2017 for sure. Which I could see JUST being Midgar, especially if they expand content like they said they would be doing. I was initially kind of disappointed... But Am starting to see the light.

"Just Me In The House By Myself"
Though it only references the first movie, I still thought this was great. I've always known Caulkin has had a good sense of humor about his past, and it's fun to see him openly mock it.

Do you believe in divorce?
I think it's fine. People get married for all the wrong reasons sometimes, and after a while, things sour. There is no point staying with someone if you are (or both) miserable. The negatives for divorce are numerous, sure. It can certainly affect children negatively in some cases, though in some also benefit. The real outrage of it tends to come more from religious aspects, but I won't get into that. To me, a lawful union of two people under the law, is about as far as I go... And like anything, if it's not working out, you should be able to have a way out. It may not be cheap, or sometimes easy, but it has to be there.

Do you ever actually use the term "Japanese animation"?
I use it occasionally, because, believe it or not, there are still people in the world who do not know the term "Anime". I know, blasphemy, right?

Star Wars : The Force Awakens
I thought it was good, but not great. It suffered from something similar to what Ant-Man suffered from: Major Plot and tone stolen from previous movies in the same series. With Ant-Man, it stole a lot from the first Iron Man movie. But I still thought Ant-Man was a good and funny movie. This movie steals too much from A New Hope. Even worse, almost copying some scenes. And I still think it is a good movie. Even if you could guess drenn a MILE away because well, we saw it before in A New Hope. So when people say "Star Wars is back!" it's a more literal " They didn't change anything and gave us more of the same! I guess this is what we wanted!" And it's not what I wanted, but got something good out of it anyway.

Star Trek: Beyond
I just checked... He is listed as a PRODUCER, but he certainly not directing it. And I am sure his role as a producer is probably limited due to the fact he's now fully intertwined into Star Wars. I bet that credit is due more to the fact he started working on Star Trek Beyond before he landed Star Wars... But I can't find out his exact involvement that gave him the Producer credit. But he certainly did not direct it, thus the lack of lense flare and other "JJ-isms"

The Middle East In Anime
I think you're expecting a little too much from a medium that regularly features super powers/giant robots/magic all being used by preteen girls. Especially when poorly or truthfully portraying Middle Eastern people sometimes comes with Death threats that aren't just rabid fanboys. That and it's probably not something they think is popular right now. Japan creates Anime for the Japanese, and nobody else. If they don't think that is a popular subject, they won't make anything about it. The times where you see it, it is usually used as a reasoning for: 1. Quick and easy bad guys. Everyone knows they have extremists and usually doesn't require much explanation; or 2. Quick shorthand for maladjusted young men to have combat skills and a stoic/violent attitude ( see FMP! and Gundam 00)... But in a lot of cases you'll also find that they are still oddly Japanese in some aspects, and not 100% middle eastern descent. Sure, occasionally we'll get a high quality anime with some aspects that really stand out... But those are few and far in between, and by the law of percentages, rarely ever deal with Middle Eastern issues ( again, cause Japan does Japan)

Star Trek: Beyond
JJ has nothing to do with Star Trek anymore. He's all about that "Other" Star series of movies.
-
Star Trek: Beyond
I think studios are jealous that something is coming out this week... A trailer for Star Trek Beyond has been released! I think it's interesting that the ship might not play a large part in this one. A bold move if true.

TMNT 2
Trailer dropped a few days ago, but have been a bit busy. I... Kind of like what I am seeing. I was someone who enjoyed the first movie overall. Sure, had lots of flaws, but was still pretty entertaining... Plus I kind of liked the way the Turtles actually looked.
-
Independance Day: Resurgence
Seems like there was a small leak, and Fox just decided to release the trailer anyway! I don't know about everyone else... But at the time, the first Independence Day movie was minblowing in that there had not been a humans vs aliens movie like it at the time. i went to see it in the theaters 6 times. I highly doubt this one will have the same impact as the first, as there have been a lot of big spectacle movies since then, but I'll still go see it, if only because of the first movie.
-
X-Men: Apocalypse
I think that is going a bit TOO far, considering the general quality of the last 2 films. That being said, Apocalypse is still supposed to be a human/mutant, and having him extremely large wouldn't make sense in the context of the movie. Like How Colossus is also suppose to be huge... it just doesn't make sense in the real world. Things do NOT have to be comic accurate. Or Hugh Jackman would never have been Wolverine. Even Marvel has made slight changes to characters because of practicality/realism. It's up to the studios to try and make things work. A 8-10 foot tall character walking around just isn't practical, or very real. Fanboy/girl-ism is that last thing this movie genre needs. ----- Anyway. I thought the trailer looks pretty decent. Showed off some cool bits and characters, while teasing the plot. I know I will be going to see it in the theaters. And I thought the tease at the end was slightly uncalled for in the first trailer... But still kind of nice.
